Golden Carrot Reward Coins – Hatchlings

What are Golden Carrot Coins?
They are an in-game currency you get as a reward for spending money on purchases like shells and Challenge Key subscriptions.

To earn Carrot Coins, make a purchase of $5.00 or more from the Hatchlings Marketplace.
Carrot Coins are automatically added to your account based on cash purchases.
You can then redeem your Carrot Coins for other fabulous prizes, using the Golden Carrot Rewards tradepost. Need a refresher on how tradeposts work? Read up here.

In this article:

How do I know my Carrot Coin balance?

Your Carrot Coin balance is displayed at the top of your screen, next to your shell balance.

It is also included in the main Carrot Coin tradepost, accessible from the carrot icon on the left side of the screen.

Why doesn't the red number on the tradepost icon match my Carrot Coin balance?

The number in the red badge indicates how many trades you can make, not how much currency you have. You might want to use all your Carrot Coins on Challenge Keys, or you might want to save them up for a higher-value trade.

What can I get with Carrot Coins?

All sorts of things! Following is a list of Golden Carrot Rewards (as of summer 2024).
Check the tradepost often, as we occasionally add and rotate items.

Loaded Challenge Key. Boosted rewards, just like the ones you can buy in the Marketplace. Read more here.
DustBunny time: 24 hours. This one starts as soon as you click Redeem. How does DustBunny work? We'd love to tell you.
Megga Challenge Key. Equivalent to 5 Loaded Challenge Keys. Read more about Challenge Keys here.
DustBunny voucher: one week. Your vacuum time won't start right away; rather, a week-long Vacuum Voucher will be added to your inventory. How do you redeem a Vacuum Voucher? Check out our DustBunny article!
Unlimited travel (30 days). For a month, starting when you click Redeem, you won't need travel tickets to visit exciting Hatchlings destinations beyond New Yolk. Doesn't sound familiar? Read our Traveling article.
Discount on cash purchases (5% for 30 days). Even applies to sale items! A great option to help you save on shells, key subscriptions, presents, etc.
DustBunny voucher bundle (five one-week vouchers). Buy four, get one free!
Storage Eggspress (30 days). Wish you could grab eggs for your challenges FROM the challenge window, without going to your profile? Now it’s an option. Read the Storage Eggpress section for more details.
Hunting Watch List (30 days). Choose which eggs you get notified about while hunting, in addition to new eggs and challenge eggs. Read the Hunting Watch List section for more details.

2024 New Features: Storage Eggspress + Hunting Watch List

These time-saving features can be activated from both the Golden Carrot Rewards tradepost and from their respective “home” locations (where you use them). Both last for 30 days and can be extended from the same Carrot Coin tradepost.

Storage Eggspress

Wish you could grab stored eggs right from the challenge window? Now it’s an option! This feature lets you use stored eggs to complete a challenge without going to your profile or vault.

Use this when you have open challenges and can see that you have a challenge egg in storage:

Click on Use 1 from Storage. (If you haven’t activated it yet, you’ll be prompted to do so.)
When you click Use 1 from Storage, the egg will be immediately deducted from your storage total and checked off your challenge list.
- The egg will NOT go to your vault or basket; it is automatically cleared to streamline things as much as possible.
- The button will change from blue to gray, since you no longer need the egg to complete your challenge.

Here's what it looks like in action:

Remember, storage is a Premium feature, so if you want to use Storage Eggspress, join Premium!

Hunting Watch List

Choose which eggs you get notified about while hunting (in addition to new eggs and challenge eggs). You do not have to be Premium to use this feature.

When you’re hunting in Normal Mode and Power Mode, you already get notified of new eggs and eggs in your challenges, but what if you’re trying to stock up on something else? Maybe you want to rebuild your storage inventory after a tradepost, contribute to network storage, help a friend catch up, or have some other reason to keep an eye out for specific eggs. The Hunting Watch List is for you!

To get started, locate the new Watch List in the Collection section of your profile or complete the Watch List Carrot Coin trade.

Once you have activated this feature, you can add eggs to your Watch List by finding them in other sections of your collection (All, Hunting, Sheldon/Shelby, etc.). When you click on the egg, you will see a new button under Purchase this egg called Add to Watch List. You can remove eggs the same way: find them in your collection and click Remove from Watch List.

Following are screenshots showing someone adding Classic Pancakes to their Watch List from the Hunting tab and confirming they appear on the Watch List.

From Hunting tab of profile, select an egg, then click Add to Watch List:

Later, go to Watch List to confirm what you've added (this is also how to remove eggs):

I have eggs on my Watch List, now what?

When you are hunting, an alert will appear in the lower left corner of your screen, just like it does for new eggs and challenge eggs. Then, when you review your Basket Report, find them by clicking the Hunting Watch List button. From here, it's easy to send to someone you know is looking for them, or to quickly submit for tradepost trades.

I’ve found as many watched eggs as I wanted –
how do I stop getting alerts?

Go to your profile to remove eggs from your Hunting Watch List. Go to the Watch List, click on the egg you want to remove, and click Remove from Watch List.
